Capturing the Memory...

When I first started travelling, many moons ago, it was all about trying not to lose countless rolls of used film and then spending a fortune on developing photos and buying fancy albums to store them in... As a keen photographer and a complete technophobe, I had my doubts when digital photography arrived - but I was won over when I borrowed a friend’s excellent digital SLR for my Antarctic adventure. 

I have since invested in my own digital cameras and love the ability to be able to take endless experimental shots, most of which can be deleted at no expense and occasionally some of which are surprisingly successful!  But the downside is – how to display these great images?  Storing them online is all well and good, but you can’t beat flicking through an album.  But it can get pricey to process so many images as prints... 

So the answer? – well, the latest craze sweeping the DTW offices is the wonderful world of Photobox .  This excellent website allows you to select your favourite photos and create your very own coffee-table style book.  The end result looks incredibly professional, is a great alternative to more traditional albums and is just as cost-effective.  You can choose from a variety of sizes and styles for your book, can add captions, select your page lay-outs and create your very own masterpiece.  Photobooks make great gifts and great souvenirs, the ideal way to record your memories so that you can re-live your adventures time and again…
